A specialized form of treatment by Patricia Wellingham-Jones
An hour in The Green Room
is a specialized form of treatment
The breeze ruffles your hair
the fragrance of star jasmine climbs the fence
A visiting mockingbird
recites his repertoire
Cup of tea resting on chair arm
you gaze at the burbling creek
watch water slide around rocks
A great blue heron scissors his thin legs
Quick stab of beak twist of head
flash of silver one long gulp
After an hour of this treatment
you walk slowly to your car
renewed
